This examination of library services to business, commerce and industry in California was based on conferences with State
Library personnel, discussions with librarians from five major resource libraries, and a study of library resources and needs
in nine California cities which included visits to the public libraries and interviews with public and special librarians
and patrons from business and industry. The report covers: (1) information needs of business and industry, (2) selection and
reference aids in business, technology and science, (3) characteristics and problems of service, (4) foreign language materials,
(5) present public, academic and special resources, (6) excerpts and summaries from relevant literature, and (7) conclusions
and recommendations for a statewide technical information network. It was found that publicly supported libraries cannot adequately
meet the technical information needs of California business and industry which are not served elsewhere. Recommendations for
a statewide technical information network suggest three levels of service: local service-contact libraries, subject centers,
and research centers which would involve contractual arrangements with major academic libraries. The California State Library
should be responsible for coordinating, developing and studying services for the entire network as well as serving as a major
special resource center. A bibliography of 32 items is appended. (Jb)

This preliminary exploration of possible approaches in California to implementation of Title iii of the Library Services and
Construction Act (lsca) is based on a review of the literature on library cooperation, an examination of existing data on
California libraries, and interviews with kay people in the California library field. The report examines: (1) the legislative
and professional background of cooperative library systems in California, (2) existing California county and regional library
systems, (3) present and proposed cooperative efforts among the several types of libraries, (4) the desirable objectives of
such efforts, (5) possible organizational structures and bases of financial support, and (6) avenues of further study and
planning. The seven major areas of possible coordination that might be incorporated into Title iii projects are communication,
bibliographical services, delivery services, reference services, order and catalog processes, collection building, and mechanization.
Recommended organizational structure involves three patterns of coordination: (1) geographical or regional systems, (2) systems
of special subject libraries, and (3) statewide services by major research libraries and the State Library, involving an extension
of the State Library's responsibility to include service to all types of libraries. (Jb)
